one of the 0oldest thieves that this
section of the country has known for
many months DEVELOPED in this line a
week or so ago. lie first appeared in
Hagerstown, Md, under the name of
Halpin. where he hired q team. Failing
TO return inside Of the time specified, an
officer was put on histrack who succeeded
in arresiing him at Lexington, Va, where
he was found trying 20 dispose Of the
turnout. lie was taken TO Hagerstown
on Thursday night, the Sth inst, where
he was arranged before Squire Bitner, 10y
whom he was sent on to Jail in default of
g.. 600 bail. lie says he did not intend 10
keen the team when he hired it, but got
out of money and took the course he did.
In tracing up the course Of this scoundrel
we will say that he passed through TINS
place ON Sunday evening, Dec. 18th. He
was well dressed, sprightly looking
Young man, travelling m buggy drawn
bv fine gray horse. On the evening OF
the same day he reached New Market
where he stopped at the residence OF Rev
j.. A. Snyder, of the Lutheran church, and
introduced himself a. Mr.. Carlaman, who
was a student at the Theological College
at Gettysburg, in 1919. He SAID he
had been sent to California as a mission
any, where he had been up to few weeks
AGO. when he was summoned to Gettys-
burg by his sister to make an effort to
rescue little five year old son of hers
who had been stolen. lie also stated that
the child had come up the Valley, and he
hoped TO overtake them ih a short time.
He asked Rev Mr.. Snyder to keep him
over night. Mr.. Snyder agreed to do so
and put his horse and buggy away, ana
after supper commenced to question him
about the professors at Gettysburg Col
lere. and the Lutheran church, and the
answers received soon convinced him that
the man was q fraud. The fellow, finding
himself cornered, begged Mr.. Snyder to
get ont his buggy and horse and he would
leave. This was done, and the man drove
to Harrisonburg from which place he
